Healthy community members are encouraged to help neighbors in need through participation in an upcoming blood drive.
The American Red Cross drive is coming up Tuesday from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m. at Cranberry Township Elks Lodge on Route 19.
Blood donation supplies have been low as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Anyone who donates at this drive will receive a $5 Amazon.com Gift Card by email. Donors will also be entered into a drawing for a travel trailer camper that sleeps five powered by Suburban Propane.
Anyone able to donate should make an appointment through the website of the American Red Cross, the Red Cross Blood Donor App, or by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS.
Red Cross will be testing blood donations for COVID-19 antibodies and COVID-19 survivors are especially needed to donate convalescent plasma.
